What's the difference between the two leagues?

Why isn't Henry Clay playing with Trinity and St. X?

Congrats to T especially to Lucas Porter who is the son of my classmate Scott Porter.

Good question. Anybody have an answer?

All the Kentucky teams used to play in the KLA however a few years ago there was a disagreement that led to a split. The Louisville area teams, perhaps in anticipation of lacrosse being sanctioned by the KHSAA, wanted to start running the league modeled after other KHSAA sports with districts and so on. Agreement couldn't be reached and the leagues split. There was talk of a "championship" game between the winners of the 2 leagues but that fell through.

FWIW Trinity played several of the Lexington teams and beat most of them pretty soundly. Trinity beat Henry Clay 19-3 on May 2.
